Not helpful I know, but i think you need to cut your thumb nail!

Picture from underneath showing the original problem of the AV2 plugs hitting the tv mount and apart from that it is in practical to take the tv off the wall to plug them in even as a temporary measure leaving them bouncing on the tv mount. I hook for the tv mount is on the top so the tv is hinged at the top and pushing down on the plugs and the tv is slightly tilted up because of it.

The ultamate fix would be to buy a PS2 AV to DVI adapter but that's almost not the point now after all this

Does the PS2 work when you plug it into the other sockets that you don't wish to use? - Just making sure there's nothing wrong with the PS2 and the output lead.

Looking at your original post I may have noticed a problem.

The picture of the sockets at the rear of your TV. You have circled the socket you wish to use, the line of that circle goes through another socket next to the one you're trying to use. To me, it looks like you should be using both sockets. One for Audio (left) and one for video (right).

The easiest option would be to buy a PS2 to HDMI Converter.

Component and Composite are different, the PS2 is Composite only, so it won't work.

This is how the tv is saying to connect component --- again it is showing RCA?phono to the tv but the connection plug is a 3.5 jack

I think I need a special LG one as I have found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-TV-COMPONENT-ADAPTOR-CABLE-LEAD-FOR-BREAK-OUT-CABLE-LG-LM7600-TV-/142095710525 and the tv is listed and the bottom section is a lot longer than the standard ones I have been trying

fazersharp · « **Reply #57 on:** 06 January 2018, 08:35:22 pm »

Also found this but from the picture it looks the same short bottom section. But why would they be selling it as an LG tV one if its just the same as any other YRW -3.5 the LG ones muse be different somehow

That's the exact one I posted a picture of earlier but mine came with my Samsung tv. I'm sure they are just generic but eBay sellers just list then for specific tv's

But if you look the bottom section nearest the black plastic of that ebay one is longer than the one I am using this picture

I also need to reply to a couple of posts

Still strange to me, that is a blatant photo of a phono/RCA connector?

As hinted earlier, are you sure that right angled RCA plugs won't do the job?
I have a feeling they might do.

Unfortunately i have to go back to work tomorrow, after 16 days off, if i can find some i'll post you them to try out.

I've missed being pissed on, in near freezing weather

Or you could buy a new TV to suit the cables you have

User Manual for the LG 55LW550T here:

http://www.lg.com/uk/support/support-product/lg-55LW550T

From the manual there seems to be some ambiguity between the input connections (page12) and the input selection options using the remote control (page 43).

The TV has AV1, AV2, and AV3 connections and a single component connection, but the menu shows only AV1 and AV2 but Component 1 and Component 2.

(the AV signals are, composite video, left audio, right audio, and screen [earth])

Is this what you find in practice? If so, what input selection did you make when testing the composite jack input?

Thats good of you but I already have some 90 degree ones, I have a load of phono type plugs leads and the ones that I used and are in the picture plugged in were the shortest plug/plastic section I could find, I then cut back the plastic anti pul/bend sheath and some of the plug plastic itself so they are actually shorter now than the 90 degree adapters
you can see them here

The manual covers a few tvs that are all slightly different and the input screen in the manual on page 43 is for one of the featured tvs but my input screen is this

AV 3 is the one I am trying to get to work and AV2 is the one with the plugs bouncing off the tv mount I am only on the blue highlighted RGB in thye picture to show that the AV3 is activated because it is in colour and not greyed out.
On the PS2 output I tried both Pb Rr - whatever and The other one and it made no difference.

Although page 12 the manual shows the bottom section of inputs facing to the back they are infact pointing down like this the picture from the manaual below is what I have on my tv

fazersharp · « **Reply #69 on:** 07 January 2018, 07:33:42 pm »

This close up of the manual shows the AV 3 input in question and tells me it is aduid/ video and if you follow the arrow around it points to the socket I am using.

I have realised that using the Sony av to dvi is a non starter because it uses one the 2 USB connections on the PS2 and I need those for the singstar microphones and a quiz game called buz, we have two sets of buz so 8 people can play and two sets of microphones for sing star

Thanks- that clears up the TV input selection ambiguity nicely.

As far as I can tell, after reading the TV user manual and PS2 user manual, this is a summary of the position.

(1) The PS2 can output composite video, left audio and right audio signals on the three phono connectors of the PS2 lead.

(2) The TV AV3 jack socket accepts the (1) above signals.

(3) The depiction of a phono plug in the TV manual is simply an error and should show a jack plug.

(4) The TV component input is achieved by by feeding the three component video signals (Y, Pb, Pr) into the right TV jack socket (to supply video to the TV) A separate cable then feeds left and right audio to the TV composite input (AV3) to provide sound as shown in the TV user manual. This is not relevant to the present exercise but is just to explain the two jack connections on the TV.

The conclusion is that the PS2/TV AV3 connection should work.

I suggest that the best way forward is to establish the video connection first and leave the audio disconnected for the time being.

The composite video input is the yellow connector on the cable that connects to the TV AV3 jack socket, so, (with the jack plug pushed fully home into the TV AV3 jack socket and AV3 input selected on the TV menu) if you could connect each of the signals from the PS2 to the yellow connector in turn and find which one (if any) gives a picture that would be a great help in getting the AV3 input working.
